Roads

Council and VicRoads share responsibility for managing roads within Mount Alexander Shire. We manage approximately 1,500km of sealed and unsealed roads as part of our road and bridge network. Find out more and how to report or request road-related repairs.

Sealed roads

In rural areas, VicRoads maintain the arterial roads and the full width of the road reserve from property line to property line. Generally, all other local sealed roads are managed by Council.

Heavy vehicle network maps including roads assessed for heavy vehicle access are on the VicRoads website. Read about bridge load limits and overpass clearances within our shire under Bridges.

Council endeavors to keep our roads open at all times however for public safety reasons roads do need to be closed in certain situations. Council publishes planned works and road closures in public notices and media releases.

Unused road reserves

To purchase or license an unused road reserve adjacent to your property you must submit an application to the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DEWLP). Read more about it in the information bulletin.
